I didn't create the Pidgin package, so I can't really comment on that. But for the packages I created I do check them if it's really working without glitches, depends checked. I don't just ship out versions without considering those issues. And example is the updated Liferea package, they changed their way of storing the feeds to sqlite, so yes I made sure the depends included that too. I create packages with pbuilder and then test them in a chrooted default installation environment. -- Peter van der Does GPG key: E77E8E98 IRC: Ganseki on irc.freenode.net Blog: http://blog.avirtualhome.com Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: petervanderdoes GetDeb Package Builder http://www.getdeb.net - Software you want for Ubuntu
